Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Samajtantrik Chhtara Front (SCF) of Rajshahi University staged a demonstration on the campus yesterday demanding immediate removal of a 'controversial' teacher of the Department of Law and Justice.

Earlier, the department selection board committee regularised the appointment of Abdur Rahim Sagar, a 'controversial' teacher loyal to Jamaat-e-Islami.

Meanwhile, Sager misappropriated admission test duty money by forging the signature of an administration employee of the department.

A probe committee found Sager guilty and suggested taking punitive action against him. But the department did not take any action against him.

At a meeting in front of the central library, BCL leaders strongly protested the move of Pro-Jamaat teachers pressing the law department selection board members to appoint an Islamic Chhatra Shibir activist Shahal Uddin through a fresh selection.

They also threatened to launch a tougher movement against the university authorities if the demand is not met.
